The currency is only allowed to move in a tightly managed band against the dollar since a one-off appreciation following a depegging in July 2005.

The yuan's value has been a perennial bone of contention between China and the United States, which has accused Beijing of deliberately keeping its currency low to protect the competitiveness of Chinese export prices.
